As the sitting Captain of a CFA volunteer brigade that boarders Brown Hill and Ballarat I would like to say this....
We are glad that FRV turn out to our calls even though we have never failed to turn out in years and we meet all our response times, we are very happy that our community are protected just in case we do fail and also because they have medical skills and equipment that we do not possess. Where we draw the line is FRV turning out their pumpers to car fires in the state forrest and grass and scrub fires in the state forrest and open paddocks with no access to articulated water and no sealed roads, where their appliances are not only inappropriate but are turned out instead of more appropriate appliances.

'The CFA are cutting out a lot of FRV responses into CFA areas.'

Have you checked your hay recently?

After recent rain, CFA crews have seen a spike in haystacks fires, responding to more than 30 incidents involving haystacks since summer began.

Last week CFA crews responded to a hayshed fire in the north west in McMillans where over 1,500 bales of hay were destroyed.

This serves as a timely reminder to monitor your haystacks, as one damp bale is enough to cause spontaneous combustion.

More information on haystack fires and what to do to prevent them can be found on CFA’s website at www.cfa.vic.gov.au/hay
